The season of giving has arrived! In this gift guide, we want to share ideas for the beauty enthusiast in your life or someone who could benefit from a little extra self-care. These suggestions are perfect for encouraging your loved ones to take a moment for themselves and indulge in some pampering while being gentle on both them and the planet. By choosing sustainable beauty products, you’re promoting self-care, contributing to a healthier planet, reducing plastic waste, and supporting cruelty-free practices.
For the Makeup Lover
For the person in your life who always rocks the best glam, can flawlessly apply winged liner, or loves a lip and cheek duo, here are some sustainable gift ideas they will appreciate. Consider Elate Cosmetics, which uses bamboo and glass packaging with refillable components, offering beautiful products with less plastic waste. Another great plastic-free alternative is Axiology, which creates stunning products for the entire face. Both companies provide vegan and cruelty-free options. For those devoted to their favorite products, consider getting them a refill or upgrading to the refillable version; even Sephora now features a refillable section!
For the Skincare Obsessed
You may notice a recurring theme: gift a refillable or solid product! Reduce the impact of plastics and packaging while giving your loved ones something that looks gorgeous on their shelves. Several brands have shifted their cult favourites to solid form, including Glossier with their Milk Jelly Cleanser. Some of our other favourites include solid serums from Attitude and Ember. Check out your local refillery or zero-waste store for more gift-able, environmentally conscious skincare items.
For the Hair Obsessed
Do you have a friend with the most gorgeous hair? Check out these brands that are revolutionizing the hair care industry!
First up is Everist. They have eliminated the water content typically found in shampoos and conditioners to create a paste that you mix with water. This innovative approach means you get more uses per tube while providing your hair with luxurious treatment.
Next is Davines, a brand renowned for its sustainable practices, high-quality ingredients, and easy-to-recycle packaging. Their solid or paste products make perfect luxury gifts. One of the significant advantages of these options is that your friends can enjoy luxury hair care on the go without worrying about airport security confiscating their products or dealing with leaks in their bags.
For the Everything Shower
Everyone loves an everything shower, time dedicated to caring for yourself, washing the worries away, and remerging a more glowy version of yourself. First, a great gift is a safety razor; they are plastic-free, last much longer, and are great for everyone! Next would be a loofa or sponge; let’s stray away from the plastic and choose something made from natural materials like a real loofa, a konjac, or a sea sponge, which are all biodegradable at the end of their useful life. Now for something to lather with, check out Attitude products, which are EWG-certified and verified clean; they have a wide range of products from body wash to shampoo. You name it, they have got it. Additionally, swing by your local zero-waste store to find local body products.
For the Lover of Handmade
There are several beauty products you can make yourself, including body lotions and scrubs! Stay tuned to our social media for some quick and easy recipes that will make thoughtful gifts for your friends and family.
